VII. OLD BUSINESS
A) The city's primary interest is saving the watershed areas and annexing The
Natives of ~odiak land. It is considering moving the boundaries of the city out to
White Sands Beach. If the city annexes White Sands/End of the Road Park, the
city will not maintain it, unless the Borough deeds the land to the city, but they
would enforce it, meaning the same laws would apply that apply within city
limits. The presence of law enforcement at the park is very important, and if it is
annexed to what degree will the enforcement be. The park needs to be maintained
and kept clean on a regular basis. Does the State have any interest in working out
some kind of management program? The original maintenance contract paid
$14,000 yearly. A campground is another possibility for the park. Schedule an
3lmexation meeting for March 29,2005.
B) Pam updated the group- Balance Nature with Commerce Workshop 4/4 - 4/7/05.
Everyone is excited.
C) This was put back on the agenda simply as a placeholder. Duane has some ideas
for code changes and we can spend more time on this at the next meeting.
D) State parks is willing to assume the overhead if no one else will and the funding
would most likely come from a loan from a Alaska Recreation process. The funds
would be distributed is different from the way the State would use. An agency
would be given x amount of dollars and a charge account and charge through the
Alaska Trails Initiative process The entity would have to cut checks on a monthly
basis, each entity would administer a program so drive the overhead costs way up.
The parks director has gone back to Ted Stevens office and told him they have to
compromise and give us a little more overhead for the program. They have been
working diligently on the Northstar trail. Weare getting various agencies
involved.
